For this first card I applied a wet wash on the paper first before painting the colours from light to dark pink to give an ombré effect. Once the watercolour paint was dry, I stamped the sentiment and hearts from the Happy Heart - French stamp set (A1192F). This stamp costs only $9 - quelle aubaine !

For the following two cards I used the Happy to Be Friends- French stamp set (C1605F). It is so versatile with sentiments that can be used for all sorts of occasions. This is a MUST have in everyone's stash.

For this pastel card, I did a wet wash on the paper first close to the paper's edge, then chose colours similar in muted intensity. I let the paint stripes overlap a bit and blend into one another making for a smoother transition. Once the paint was dry I ripped the edges all around pulling paper towards me to reveal the core.

For the rainbow card, I painted stripes directly onto the dry paper, no blending, going for bold vibrant colour contrast. I also painted the same colour stripes on the silver shimmer trim. Once the paint was dry, I stamped the Bonjour in black ink.

Welcome to this month's Cross-Canada blog hop, featuring the 9 stamp sets that are available in French, Spanish and English. When you flip through the catalogues those stamps are identified with a World globe icon.

The first card I made is a BFF (Best Friends Forever) card because these little girls are soooo darling. They were easy to cut using the School Kids thincuts which come with a coordinating stamp set. The bundle is on sale this month 25% off. Oui c'est vrai !

The second card for this hop I made is a birthday card - Bonne Fête. the word fête is so cute and small that I stamped it several times across the pink band.

Tip:
You can use the Shin Han alcohol markers to colour in the sequins too. The camera doesn't pick it up but they are now hot pink on both cards. A girl can never have enough pink or shimmery sequins right?

I made this fun balloon cardfor someone's promotion. I used the Happy for You - French (C1660F) stamp set ($17.75) which is perfect for celebrating a variety of life's milestones.

I stamped and fussy cut the balloons. I used the CTMH piercing tool along the edges of the White Daisy cardstock piece.
